Great! I used this video to remove my FCIM. The dealer didn’t know what would happen. Now I do I want to post this since the replacement part is back ordered. With the FCIM disconnected the car starts, drives, you can control the radio from the touchscreen. The problem is that as a safety feature the system defaults to front defroster on, full fan, full heat. You cannot control this and I got very uncomfortable in 10 minutes. Mine is a 2013 Explorer Limited
Great Video.. But this is why I hate ordering parts from Ebay. They always send you the wrong part number and expect you to alter your mounts for their devices. Who has all those types of tools to perform this modification?
I agree with you, kind of frustrating, but WAY, WAY cheaper than taking it to the dealer. I believe this would have been a $1200 + repair at the dealer. I probably could have returned the screen and tried to find the exact part , with proper mount. I didn't have the patience so just made it work. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching my video!!
Do you have a link to where you bought yours?!?! Mine went out and I would like to get a stock replacement but I’m not trying to pay an arm & a leg! Thanks! Good video! Appreciate ya!
Take the mounts off of the old module and put them on the new one they’re interchangeable .All that extra work for nothing . I know because I changed mine and all I had to do was use the mount from the old one to get the screws to line up .
I believe it would be this one: DB5T-18B955-FA - double check your vehicle and options. Here is a listing on ebay with that screen: www.ebay.com/itm/255919515603?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0AbTxruzTuO&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=KyOy1imgT2e&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Disculpe es necesario cambiar toda la pantalla o solo el cristal? para que detecte el touch.

I am having exactly the same problem so i am going to try exactly what you did and hopefully i get the right screen
Thank you this is really helpful!
Best of luck! Thanks for watching my videos!
I have the EXACT same problem 9/30/22
@@lonniekenley8278 pull it out and see if you can find a used or refurbished screen with the exact same housing and mounts. That would be best!

Calibration menu can be accessed by pressing the seek back button after doing the speaker test
Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Thank you sir!
You bet!
My 2013 explorer doesnt have none of those radios , but wondering if i can upgrade it with 1 of those radios will it work?
I am not sure about that; I’d say it’s possible.
Good video... thanks
Thanks for watching!
Hi I hope you can help me I have the same issue with my 2014 ford explorer limited. Do you know what part its the best for my car ?
Sorry I don’t. Take out the bad part and it will have the part # on it!
Is this a recall?
Hello, I'm having the same exact issue! its April 2023 now, do you know what part number is best for my 2013 Ford explorer?
I believe it would be this one: DB5T-18B955-FA - double check your vehicle and options. Here is a listing on ebay with that screen:

@@FourDRanch THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Nice video. What are you doing with the old one? I would love to take it apart!
I have sent it back to TX Original Car Audio, as the core, in return they give a warranty on the used one I bought.
Just switch the mounts . They’re interchangeable
I just made it work with what I had on hand. Thank you for watching!
I have the same issue but how you know if is the screen bad and not the apim module?
I believe if the APIM is dead you will have no hard button control of the radio, nav, ac/heat etc and the screen may be blank or black.
Same issue , couple drops of espresso 🤣
Sorry to hear that!
Yeah, where is that pesky "enter" button? I'll try pressing in the center like you did.
good luck with your install. Mine is still working great, it was worth the effort vs paying the outrageous dealer price to replace the screen.
@@FourDRanch I wonder if I could take mounts (if needed) to a sheet metal and have them flip the brackets as you did......
@@lonniekenley8278 probably so, it’s very soft metal, not hard to cut, bend, and shape.
Same issues
Good luck with your repairs, let me know if you have any questions!
